Also, read this if you’d like to know more about “real” Pilates.👇👇👇

Unless you’re using Pilates apparatus (Reformer, Cadillac, Barrel, Chair, etc.) or practicing the original 34 mat exercises in the exact order Joseph Pilates laid out in his 1945 book “Return to Life Through Contrology,” you’re taking a contemporary, fusion-style class that incorporates classical Pilates mat exercises.

Pilates designed the original 34 as one continuous, ordered sequence requiring no equipment — not even resistance bands (gasp!) Modern mat classes like Hot Mat, Hottie Pilates, Inferno Pilates, Pilates Fusion, Pilates Sculpt, Pilates Strong, and the countless variations on social media include methodology and exercises that were never part of his original sequence. So while these classes are inspired by Pilates and have evolved from the original 34, they aren’t classical Pilates. They’re fusion fitness classes that include Pilates mat work or, just as accurately, contemporary mat classes that “infuse” traditional fitness elements. Both descriptions are true.

Lucky for you - Omcore has specialized in fusion fitness since we opened in 2012, with hot yoga and mat work at the heart of what we offer. In fact, that is why we are named OMCORE! The “OM” represents yoga & the “CORE” represents the mat work we do for core strength. 💗

Drop a comment letting us know if you DID or DID NOT know that lil’ tidbit about the origin of our name! 🥰

I 💗 this mother/daughter duo > building strength, building confidence, building memories! 🔥💪💥

When we practice, we learn.
When we learn, we grow.
When we grow, we evolve.

Every down dog, every hundred, every rep you didn’t think you had in you — it’s not just about the practice. It’s about showing up for yourself and your classmates again and again.

Yoga teaches us patience. Pilates teaches us control. Fitness teaches us discipline. Together? They teach us who we’re capable of becoming.

So here’s to the poses, the pulses, and the planks we silently cursed and then thanked. Here’s to progress over perfection. 🧘‍♀️💪✨

I found my people! 🥰💥🔥

is a new (and the only!) boutique fusion fitness studio in Ferrol, Spain, and is fantastic! 🙌

They offer barre, bootcamp, mat pilates, and indoor cycle. I did a bootcamp class this morning (which included something called a “devil press” that’s basically a burpee with an overhead dumbbell press and oh-so-fun) and am waitlisted for Cycle later today. 🤞

The owner, Candela, is muy simpática and an excellent instructor. I can’t wait to go back! ❤️

“True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life.” 🌻
~ Aadil Palkhivala

We devote a lot of time to exercise - to moving and breathing and lifting and sweating - so that we may feel strong and healthy, of course! 🪴

But when you move through ancient postures, cultivate steady breath, and sit with intention, you create a palpable, positive energy within and around you. This energy shapes your life in ways you can’t imagine unless you actually do the practice. In other words, “yoga hits different.” 😍

Come practice with us! 🧘🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

And over in Spain…I visited for a traditional Mat Pilates session this morning. 💗

Did you know > Joseph Pilates took up several fitness regimens in his youth, including martial arts, bodybuilding, gymnastics, boxing, and yoga. 

He studied both Eastern disciplines — including yoga, tai chi, kung fu, and qigong — as well as Western disciplines like bodybuilding, boxing, and gymnastics. The influence of yoga on his developing methodology was particularly significant. 

During his time in a WWI internment camp, he began intensively developing his system of physical exercise, which he called “Contrology,” and studied yoga and the movements of animals while training his fellow inmates. 

Like yoga, his method emphasized breath as a foundation, mindfulness, precision of movement, and flow — reflecting his studies in Zen Buddhism and yoga.

More planks, of course!

Benefits of PLANKING:

Engages abs, obliques, and lower back simultaneously.

Strengthens the muscles that keep your spine aligned and maintain good posture.

Works shoulders, glutes, legs, and arms, not just the core.

Builds the spinal support muscles that reduce lower back strain.

Trains the stabilizer muscles used in everyday movement.

Low injury risk – Isometric (static) exercise puts minimal stress on joints.

No equipment needed – Do it anywhere, anytime.

Even 30–60 seconds delivers meaningful benefit!

Tuesday classes are guaranteed to give you opportunities to plank with us - we even simulate planking when we “hover back” in ride class. 🤩 Join us!
